Campaner · Cabernet-Sauvignon Riserva DOC 2021

  The ‘Campaner’ Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva from the Kaltern Winery is an impressive red wine that masterfully combines the power and elegance of the grape variety. The grapes come from high-altitude vineyards around Lake Kaltern, where the cool climate and calcareous soils provide ideal conditions for cultivation. After harvesting, fermentation takes place on the skins at a controlled temperature, followed by a two-week maceration period. The wine is then aged for 16 months in barriques, a quarter of which are new. Before bottling, the wine is lightly filtered to preserve its clarity and structure.

In the glass, the ‘Campaner’ presents itself in a deep ruby red. The bouquet unfolds aromas of ripe blackcurrants, wild cherries, and a subtle hint of chocolate. On the palate, the wine is powerful with increasing tannins and pronounced fruitiness, culminating in a long, lingering finish. This Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva is a prime example of the high level of craftsmanship at the Kaltern winery and reflects the uniqueness of the South Tyrolean terroir. - Gerardo [TS10/22]
